Situated in the heart of Cork City Centre, the English Market is an award winning, roofed food market and has been trading continuously since 1788.

Developed and still owned by Cork City Council, the Market is one of the oldest municipal markets of its kind in the world. It continues to be a major Cork tourist attraction due to both it's historical significance and its traders' emphasis on traditional Irish ingredients and food of the highest quality.

The recent visit of Queen Elizabeth II has further inhanced the market's popularity.
